Oriental Daily: "The charter boat king spent a lot of money and threatened to take the Wharf!"

"Sing Tao Daily": "The Wharf war is gradually rising, and who wins and who loses in Jardine Matheson. ”

“......”

After a few days, when most ordinary citizens did not know what the situation was, the major newspapers and media were the first to notice the abnormal stock price of Wharf, and after many investigations and interviews, they immediately announced the beginning of the acquisition of Wharf by the charter ship king.

All of a sudden, dozens of securities companies and speculative companies in Hong Kong poured into the stock market like sharks smelling blood, and began to compete for Wharf's shares one after another.

If it was said that the charter king had raised the stock price of Wharf by more than twice as much as that of the Wharf by himself, then when these speculators who cannibalism and did not spit out bones entered the market, it took less than a week to force the stock price of Kowloon at 40 yuan a share to 60 yuan. This is all the behavior of speculators.

The ancients often said that Luoyang paper is expensive, but now it is a piece of gold, a light stock, falling into the hands of these speculators, selling more expensive than gold!

According to the current international lowest gold price of 381.25 US dollars per ounce, about one gram is 70 Hong Kong dollars, and now a Wharf stock is almost equivalent to one gram of gold.

With such a high stock price, all the shareholders who hold Wharf shares in their hands are like crazy, and they are in the hall of the stock exchange every day, looking forward to the stock price continuing to rise.

I don't know if it is the high frequency of Wharf stock transfer orders, and the stocks of many companies are growing rapidly, among which the fastest increase is the global shipping of the charter ship king, and the parent company of Wharf, Jardine Matheson Group.

This phenomenon is similar to that of 1972, before the stock market crash.

......

With the newspaper reporting that the charter king swore to take Wharf's declaration, it took only a dozen days, under the coaxing of major speculators and crazy stockholders, Wharf's stock price soared from 20 yuan a share to 67 yuan a share.

Even the entire Hong Kong stock market has gradually come to the stock market, which seems to have returned to the stock market before the stock market crash, and this phenomenon has also made many experts who are concerned about the stock market begin to worry.

The Hong Kong Economic Journal immediately issued a vigilant article: "With the public acquisition of Wharf shares by the chairman of Global Shipping in mid-September, Wharf shares have risen from the initial 20 yuan a share to 67 yuan a share, an increase rate of 300 percent. ”

At the same time, the entire Hong Kong stock market has also begun to grow slowly along with the rise in Wharf's stock price, according to our reporter's interview with Mr. Liu, deputy manager of the Kowloon Stock Exchange. In just over half a month, the trading volume of various stocks on the Kowloon Stock Exchange has more than doubled that of the previous month. Although the majority of them are Wharf stocks, there are some other stocks. ”

"Now the stock market seems to be picking up vigorously, but in fact there is still a hidden mystery, with the participation of many forces, the already inflated Wharf stock price has increased again. I also hope that the major shareholders and ordinary citizens will be vigilant and not cause another 73-year stock market crash. ”

As a well-known financial newspaper in Hong Kong in recent years, Hong Kong Economic Journal immediately attracted the attention of many ordinary shareholders after reporting this article, and some people were still worried about another stock market crash, so they sold off their Wharf shares on the same day.

This also indirectly caused the Wharf stock price to fall by two dollars before the close of the day.

After the opening of the market the next day, a bunch of stockholders began to sell their Wharf shares at a low price, in order not to become the group of people who were cut leeks.

As more and more stocks were sold at low prices, Wharf's share price fell to $50 a share on the eve of the close.

Before the market opened again the next day, the stock price of the entire Wharf fell to 40 yuan a share.

Many shareholders are still glad that they sold quickly, otherwise they would be cut leeks, before the close of the afternoon of the same day, there was an invisible big hand, all the stocks were taken away at once, and the stock price, which had fallen for two consecutive days, was pulled to 43 yuan.

In the face of the sudden situation, the shareholders were still comforting themselves, mistakenly thinking that the dealer wanted to continue harvesting, so they raised the stock, but the actual situation was that the charter ship king, Jardine Matheson, and Huo Yaowen were all trying their best to acquire these loose shares.

The stock price of Wharf, which fell for two days in a row, began to soar all the way after it rebounded on the same day, and it took only three days to not only return to the previous stock price, but also to increase by two yuan to 70 yuan a share.

Watching the rise and fall of the stock market like a roller coaster, investors were dumbfounded, and the Hong Kong Economic Journal, which wrote an article on the stock market, was equally surprised.

Before the "Hong Kong Economic Journal" could react, those shareholders who thought that they had suffered heavy losses blocked the door of the "Hong Kong Economic Journal" and argued for an explanation from the people of the newspaper.

The newspaper office was blocked, and as soon as the news spread, it immediately attracted reports from peers, who all used sarcastic words to ridicule the unprofessionalism of the Hong Kong Economic Journal.

As a competitor, the "Hong Kong Observer" did not miss this opportunity, and joined forces with "Oriental Daily", "Huazi Daily" and many other newspapers under the Huanyu newspaper industry to start cynicism against "Hong Kong Economic Journal".

The blow to the level was still when Lin Xingzhi, the president of the Hong Kong Economic Journal, had a headache about this matter.

On Huo Yaowen's side, he received a call from the charter boat king, saying that he invited Huo Yaowen to come out for a get-together.

......

The Peninsula Hotel.

The charter king rushed over with someone in a hurry, and after entering the door and asking the waiter, he found Huo Yaowen sitting by the window under the leadership of the waiter, and hurriedly stepped forward to apologize: "I'm sorry Mr. Huo, there is a bit of traffic jam on the road." ”

"It's okay Mr. Bao, I just arrived not long ago. Huo Yaowen and Yin Wenyao beside him got up and shook hands with the charter king.

After a few people sat down, the charter king ordered a cup of afternoon tea for himself and the people next to him, and then began to chat aimlessly.

The charter king asked, "Mr. Huo, I heard that you have invested in a big project in the mainland?"

Huo Yaowen was stunned for a few seconds, and said: "Mr. Bao seems to be well-informed, I only finalized the investment last month, I didn't expect you to know so soon." ”

The charter boat king laughed and said: "It's not that I'm well-informed, it's Chairman Li of Hutchison Electric who said it at the Hong Kong manufacturers' conference last week, and he said that he and Mr. Huo built an electrical appliance factory in Guangzhou together." ”

Hearing that it was not a project that he invested in Shenzhen, Huo Yaowen breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, it seems that Li Yongsen didn't know that he had built another electrical processing plant in Shenzhen, otherwise Li Yongsen would probably vomit blood in anger.

"Yes, Chairman Li and I are very optimistic about the mainland. ”

"Oh, if Mr. Huo doesn't mind, might as well talk about the mainland's foreign investment policy?"

"Haha, what do you mind about this or not, it's all a matter that the mainland is open to the outside world. If the charter king is interested, then I will briefly talk about it. ”

As Huo Yaowen talked about the various policies of "three to one supplement" in the mainland, as well as the special economic zones in Shenzhen, Zhuhai and other places, it aroused the interest of the charter boat king to invest in the mainland, and he also took the initiative to inquire about some specific situations there.

After hearing this, the charter king pondered silently for a few seconds, and then said: "When I went north the year before last, I also knew a little bit of news about reform and opening up, but most of the companies under my name are mainly shipping trade, and I am afraid it will be difficult to invest in the mainland market." ”

Last year, the charter king went north and met with the designer, mainly for the shipbuilding industry in the mainland, but the charter king at that time already had the idea of abandoning the ship and landing, and did not want to continue to expand the tonnage of the shipping fleet, and this matter was later closed.

Huo Yaowen smiled: "That's not necessarily, most of the investment projects in the mainland are mainly based on foreign export trade, and shipping will inevitably be indispensable at that time. ”

"Well, I'll go to the mainland when I have the chance. Hearing this, the charter king's heart throbbed slightly, but after thinking about it, he still shook his head in his heart, his only thought now is to win the Wharf!

After chatting for a long time, the charter king saw that Huo Yaowen was there, and he didn't take the initiative to ask him why he had asked him to drink tea, and he also admired the patience of this young man.

"Mr. Huo......"

Seeing that the other party didn't mention it, the charter boat king had to take the initiative to say: "I can't hide it, I asked you out for tea this time, mainly to ask Mr. Huo if the Wharf stock in his hand is sold?"

After such a long time, the charter king more or less knew that in addition to Jardine and those speculators, there was also a big force involved, and the signs after many investigations were all directed at Huo Yaowen.

"It seems that I still can't hide it from Mr. Bao. Huo Yaowen grinned and continued: "Mr. Bao, my team told me early on that the market value of Wharf was undervalued, so I started to buy shares of Wharf the year before last. But I didn't expect Mr. Bao to also have this idea about Wharf. ”

When the charter king heard this, he looked at Huo Yaowen's expression, calm and indifferent, it didn't seem like he was very eager, he pondered for a while, and only said this because Huo Yaowen wanted to raise his chips.

"80 yuan!" The charter king compared eight and said: "The price of 80 yuan per share, as long as Mr. Huo is willing to give up the shares of Wharf, I am willing to accept it at the price of 80 yuan per share." ”

Now the actual stock price of Wharf is 72 yuan per share, and the direct purchase price of charter ship king is 10% of the price, which is also very high.

"This ......" Huo Yaowen pretended to hesitate for a few seconds, thought for a while and said, "I need to think about it, but I'm curious about Mr. Bao, why are you willing to spend so much money to take the Wharf? Is it the same as what the newspaper says?"

Although the Wharf is indeed good, if you want to win it, the charter king will have to pay at least more than 2 billion. Such a large sum of money is actually far more than the value of Wharf.

Huo Yaowen couldn't understand why the charter boat king was willing to spend so much money to win Wharf!
